THE CHILDREN.
A Pot-pourri Served Up Es'
peeiazy for the Little
Ones.
WISE AND OTHERWISE.
A Study of Dolls and Cradles-Japanese
Iuus-7he Railroads in War.
Railroads iM liar.

The first thing for boy or girl 10
remember in considering war ls-'that
soldiers must eat. 1t is generally sup
posed that the most important duty OF
soldier is to fight; but this is a mis-
take. He must eat before he can fight
and more battles have been lost because
commanders could not feed their
armies, than because they could not
fight the enemy.
The control of the railroads is the
object of every great campaign IN
modern war. Whoever holds the rail
roads can move troops and ammunition
and food to the important point more
quickly than the enemy. And every
thing depends upon being stronger
than your enemy at the important point.
, One man is nearly as good as another
man, at least on the average. Ten
thousand men Of one nation are nearly
sure to be worth ten thousand OF an
other: and certainly in the great Amerl-
can war. where all of the men were OF
the same nation, there was little differ
ence in the fighting quality of the OPP
posing forces. One side had more DASH
the other more endurance; one perhaps
went into battle more furiously, the
other I should say held out more stub
bornlv: but in the end the men on one
side were about as good for fighting
purposes as those on the other. Who
ever had most men, therefore was mos
likely to win. But they must b'
equipped and fed. To have more mel
than you can feed, is worse than no
having enough. Gen. AAam Badeaat

to this frame by means OF long strap
of soft buckskin. Very frequently
slight awning of splint or wicker work
is built over the face of the infant, 10
the bent portion of the framework Is
attached q loop of buckskin by means
of which the whole apparatus may be
hung MP. If there should happen to
stand in front of the squaw's tent
small supple tree. she would put this
loop over the end of the upper twlg.
When the wind blew the cradle would
sway. But if the wind should blow too
hard and bend the bough too mucE,t the
loop would slip off, and down would
come cradle-frame, pappoose, and all.
The old cradle-rhyme is verified.
Some useful lessons have been taught
ethnologists by these doll-pappooses
and doll-cradles People of various
nationalities may be recognized by their
dress. and the tribe to which an Indian
girl belongs may be told by her doll,
and especially by her dolls cradle.
Ignorant persons may think that In
dams are alike, but it should be remem-
bercd that there were many nations OF
them in North America before the ar
rival of the Cabots. Some of these ma
tons were powerful and occupied vast
territory, such as the Algonkin, lroquols'
Dakota, and Athapascan. Others were
small, like the little Kingdoms of Italy
and Germany before their consolida-
ton. The National Museum possesses
dolls and cradles from most OF these
nations, as you can see in the children's
corner when you visit Washington.
One example will show the value OF
this doll ethnology. At the Museum is
little woman made Of burnt clay, and
clothed in rags, feathers, and shells,
who, travellers at once will tell you,
came from the NIoki pueblos in North
eastern Arizona Notice particularly
the hair-puf1s. Notice the feathers on
the neck; these came from the eagle,
the turkey, the duck, and the blue
bird, and each of them, as we'll as the
little shells, has religious meaning.
Indeed, everything about this dolly
shows, to those who understand Nloki
customs, that she is dressed for Indian
church.
Perhaps you have never before heard
that there is anything scientific about
dolls and their cradles. But it would
not take long to show that the same
kind of study might be expended upon
them as the older people devote to the
races OF men or the species Of animals
and plants. -IVide -1vuhe.

japanese Inns.

A good japanese inn. says the Rev.
Dwight Learned, in the Christian
Union, is not altogether to be despised,
although it does not have all the west
ern comforts by any means Meals are
served at the travellers own apartment.
The maid brings in little table for
each guest about foot high, with
dishes Of corresponding size, and sits
near by during the meal with bucket
of rice ready to replenish any ones
bowl. Rice is the great staple article
of diet, and besides it there is fish or
eggs, and also various soups and relishes
You can have as much rice and tea as
you wish, but if you want anything else
than is served on your little table you
must pay extra. The room contains no
furniture, but the floor is covered with
thick mating, on which at night they
spread thick comfortables for bed,
with more of the same for covering.
AS for pillow, if you don't bring one
of your own, you may repose your head
Ou " NoOuSu OloCA LII ct l'ttllcoC oe,n lc, VI
you may roll up your overcoat for a
pillow. There is no heating arrange
ment except brazier with little char
coal fire, at which you can warm your
fingers; but at night, in cold weather,
you can have little charcoal fire at
your feet with an arrangement OF COM
fortables so contrived as to keep in the
heat; and here you can sleep warm
enough. The usual light is small
rushlight surrounded by paper screen,
which the japanese like to keep burning
all night; but now kerosene lamps can
be found at many inns in the larger
places and on the main roads. A hot
faith is thrown in without extra charge,
but as for privacy in it, no one thinks of
that. No distinction Of sex is made at
such place. Another Inconvenience
in the busy season is that the rooms are
only separated by paper slides, and that
many travellers sit up talking very late
at night and get up to continue their
journey very early i'll the morning. For
supper, lodging, and tea the usual
! charge is from 90 to 35 cents

A man named Charles H. Constance
went out from New York to Butte City.
recently. and started hotel. He
tackled up long list of "Rules OF This
House" which limited at the bottom
that "the above would be RICHLY en-
forced" and he was only just putting
the hammer away when a prominent
citizen came in and showed his hat on
the back of his head and began reading
them. He studied them attentively
for about minute and turned around
and said
"Rules of this house, hey, stranger q"
eyes, sir; yes, sir; rules of this
house. Can do anything for you to-
day?"
Dove will be rigidly enforced,
hey? Hev l got it all right?"
"Er-yes, sir, 1 suppose they'll be

"Will, hey, will they When We

"Why, my dear sir, you see perhaps
I won't enforce those rules at all-not
if they conflict with anything"
"Well, they conflict, every one Of
'em."
"Of course, of course, but what
with?"
",They conflict with me, you bleachetl-
out, white-livered New Yorker: every
one Of 'em conflicts with me personally!
Rules spiked up around always con-
fict with me-"
"I-I-just hold on a minute, sir,
and I'll take those rules right down.

ooh, aim at the rules, of course !:
point it right at the rules! That's
what I put them up for-for guests to
shoot at--shoot all you want to, don't
mind me- and he put his hands over
his ears and crawled behind the safe.
Then it sounded as if large IRON
clad had sailed into the Office and was
practicing on the clock with fourteen
inch gun. After which the prominent
citizen walked away and his spurs had
a harsh, metallic ring as he went ont

from behind the safe and went and

When the wind blows the cradle will rock,
When the bough bends the cradle will fall,
Down will como baby. and cradle, and ALL
The writer we'll remembers the
trouble which this old lullaby gave to
his boyish mind. For who ever saw a
mother rocking her baby on the top of
tree? Up in the White Mountains
the women sometimes rock their babies
in sugar troughs, but troughs are not
tree-tops. The truth is, that nothing
seen among white people throws any
light upon Mother Goose's celebrated
verse.
But whoever has seen tribe of In
dams in camp, With it's warriors in
brckskin, and its squuws CARRYING chill
drcn around on their backs, concludes
that he has found the source of the
song. The cradle OF the pappoose,
initiated by all little Indian girls with
their dolls, consists OF u framework
like the bow of an OK yoke, only longer
and not nearly so heavy. Some kind OF
network connects the two sides of the
frame and acts like the Stats of a Grill
in supporting the bed. On this net 0,
